Hello and welcome! Here are your results from the fourth round of fixtures for the 22/23 Scottish Premiership Football League.
Hibernian 2-2 Rangers
Ohhh Rangers will be kicking themselves over this one. Two goals conceded ⚽⚽, two points lost 2️⃣, two red cards 🟥🟥! Easter Road was host to a great fight between two teams, but it must be said Rangers shot themselves in the foot on this one. James Tavernier opened scoring on the stroke of halftime at 45' with a penalty. Martin Boyle evened it up with a 51' strike (assisted by Thody Eli Youan). Tom Lawrence 58' (assisted by Borna Barisic) brought back the lead until the 66' minute when capitulation happened. John Lundstram sent off with a straight red, only to be followed by yet another Rangers red card in the form of substitute Alfredo Morelos 75'. And then to put icing on the cake for the home crowd, a succulent chested down half-volley on the edge of the box by Josh Campbell 90'+3 ensured the points were to be split.

St. Johnstone 0-1 Aberdeen
Another one-goal decider, this time at McDiarmid Park. Leighton Clarkson 56' scores a free-kick to bring all three points back with the Dons. Aberdeen could argue they should've scored more, with 15 shots taken to the Saints' 7.

Celtic 2-0 Hearts
Although a cleansheet for the Bhoys, this contest was much tighter than the scoreline suggests. A dominant first half provided a goal from Kyogo Furuhashi 13' (assisted by Daizen Maeda). But a second half resurgence saw a strong Hearts respons. Although not many chances or shots were tallied, Hearts dominated major parts of the second half. It wasn't until two red cards in the span of three minutes for Hearts did Celtic manage to put it to bed. Greek striker Giakoumakis settling the matter with a 90'+4 tap in. Celtic cement their place at the top of the table on 12 points in front of 58,776 fans.
